Rain Guard for Swarovski 8.5 x 42 binoculars (1 Viewer)

[Craig Thayer]

The rain guard for my Swarovision 8.5 x 42 binoculars cracked and is no longer usable. For several days I have tried contacting Swarovskis USA (e-amil and phone) about purchasing a replacement but have received no response. Has anyone else had trouble contacting them ? Also any suggestions for a suitable replacement rain guard ?

Replacement: see here... Generic rainguard for SLC 42
I believe EL 42 and SLC 42 have the same size eyecups but you'll want to measure yourself.

Get the NL version. Assuming your 8.5 is an EL, the fit of the NL rain guard is a much happier fix for the EL. Got mine from Rhode Island .

Unusual maybe a busy week for them, I called in for objective caps for EL, and it was shipped out next day. Leave an unhappy message that might work. I use the stock rain guards , I just don’t push them all the way down over the rubber eyecups. Just a light tap and never have an issue with any of them for the EL or NL. It’s only an issue for me when you push them on where they’re fully seated, then they’re tight.
